A new HR future

In ‘HR world’, it is not always easy to keep the right sense of direction. Well-intended mass recruitment initiatives can take up so much time that the pool of existing in-house talent is often overlooked. Legal issues or changes in employment law can be of such impact that they jeopardise the development and implementation of a strategic competence management. A well-defined HR policy is a complex matter and can take many forms. Years ago, HR expert and university professor Dave Ulrich defined a structured HR roadmap. He identified four areas of expertise for HR activities: Employee Champion, Administrative Expert, Change Agent and Business Partner.

As an HR professional, you may not have the necessary expertise in all those areas. The good news is that that should not be a problem. A service provider like Acerta can help to complete your in-house talent. Acerta does not only help to make a start, but can support and guide you proactively at every step of the HR process.

Over the years, Acerta has truly become a complete service provider. We have continued to grow by optimally deploying in-company expertise, by externally attracting talent at critical times, but also by introducing new ideas and taking new directions. Today, Acerta is a ‘one-stop-shop’ service provider with several competence centres under the Acerta label. Our services offer is as varied as the HR challenges you are faced with. Our approach is unique, fair, proactive and powered by your people.

At Acerta, we understand that HR is a complex mechanism and that specialist HR support is not a luxury. We believe that HR is essentially a people business and that HR professionals can benefit from step-by-step, structured support to be successful in this business. That is why Acerta has worked hard to build a first-class website that serves as your GPS in the complex HR environment: www.goingforhr.be.

You can take that quite literally: visit our website to assess your current HR policy with the online HR GPS. Self-assessment is the first step to successful HR management. We worked closely with the Catholic University of Leuven to develop the online HR GPS. HR GPS allows you to situate your company in the renowned Ulrich model, based on the latest research findings.

Goingforhr.be is the result of relentless teamwork. In recent months, we addressed every single Acerta HR expert for his/her input on specific HR matters. Our new website is the product of a well thought-through process, hard work and a truly cooperative effort.
